Hi everyone!
Does anybody know how to select the load balancing algorithm for Maximize Bandwidth (SLA) SD-WAN rule? If I use SD-WAN with only Implicit "Source IP" rule clients are distributing among WAN interfaces and each client persists its own interface binding while the interface is up. But when I add an SLA rule with Maximize Bandwidth strategy clients become to change WAN interface for each session and this behaviour cause problem with many application (Banking etc.). Is it a bug or design intend? The doc says: "Maximize Bandwidth (SLA) (load-balance): Traffic is distributed among all available links based on the selected load balancing algorithm.", but I do not understand clearly how to select it. The goal is to make traffic distributes among all WAN interfaces that conform to SLA, but clients should persist external IP as long as corresponding WAN interface is SLA-conformed.
Any help will be very appreciated, thank you!
We are using FG-80E and FG-100F v6.2.2 and here is a suggested config example:
config system virtual-wan-link set status enable config members edit 1 set interface "wan1" set gateway xx.xx.xx.xx next edit 2 set interface "wan2" set gateway yx.yx.yx.yx next end config health-check edit "Connectivity_to_Google" set server "8.8.8.8" set interval 500 set update-cascade-interface disable set update-static-route disable set sla-fail-log-period 30 set sla-pass-log-period 60 set members 1 2 config sla edit 1 set latency-threshold 200 set jitter-threshold 50 set packetloss-threshold 5 next end next end config service edit 1 set name "GeneralInternetAccess" set mode load-balance set dst "All External" set src "all" config sla edit "Connectivity_to_Google" set id 1 next end set priority-members 1 2 next end end
